If you have selected a song you are familiar with, you may want to play by
yourself right away. However you may want to listen to the song first
before playing it.
To listen, press the PLAY/STOP button. The CA piano will start playing
back the selected song. You can adjust the speed or tempo of the song by
using the VALUE buttons while holding down the TEMPO button. While
you are listening you can select a different Concert Magic song by using
the VALUE buttons.
The circles turn into small plus signs as the song is
playing.
You probably noticed that the circles in the LCD display turn into smaller
plus signs as the song is played back. This is called the Note Navigator.
These circles and plus signs provide a visual guide that shows you when
to press the next key. The space between the circles and position of the
circles in the LCD shows you the approximate timing between each key
press.
The key to performing using Concert Magic is to know the rhythm of the
song. The Note Navigator provides a rough outline of the songs rhythm,
that will help you to learn the song’s rhythm and then perform it by
yourself.
If you want to listen to a different song, press the key to which
your desired song is assigned while holding down the CONCERT
MAGIC button. To listen, press the PLAY/STOP button.
When you are finished listening to the song, press the PLAY/STOP
button again to stop.
